We have gathered the following issues cwrentiy'faced by
as
IIIIM to be highlighted in the meeting
follows :-
BENEFITS OF IIUM AS A GO\IERI\MEI{T INSTITUTION
One Policy For
IfUM
As a govemment finded university i.e. almost 100 percent, we would iike to urge IIUM to
follow only one policy i.e. government policy only. Cunently, IIUM practices half government
and half private policy.
Housing Loans
IruM
sometimes lacked of housing loans funds.
IruM staff
has to take housing loans from
IIUM
panel bank while the IIUM subsidises the interest rates. Furthernore, IIUM staff is in the losing
end as the payment back period could not be prolonged beyond retirement limit of 58 years
because IIUM staff members are not pensionable compared to govemment pensionable officers.
Fension Card issued by Public Service Department
retirees to get medical treatrnent at
government hospitals without the need of going through IIUM Clinic. According to a reliable
source from IIUM Clinic, the medical charge by the government hospital will be billed to IIUM
according to private sector rate even though the budget is from govemment itself. However,
IIUM retirees need to get Guarantee Letter first from iiUM Clinic before proceeding to
govemment hospitals for treatrnent. The problem arises when the retiree lives far from IIUM
Clinic in Gombak Campus eg. Sabah and Sarawak.
The purpose of pension card
is to recognise IIUM
Derivative Pension
Derivative Pension is a pension benefit paid monthly to the widow / widower and children of an
pensionable officer of pensioner who dies. Dependants of a deceased officer may be considered
for Derivative Gratuity and Derivative Pension. This benefit is not extended to IIUM staffwho
dies while in service.
